Butter Cream Cheese Mini Cake

After not feeling well- bad cough for almost 2 weeks, today I get to drag myself to bake a least a cake with a simple recipe! I chose the easy one that my daughter likes to have one of this mini butter cake when we have our lunch in this Hainanese restaurant in town after church!



I like the Fruity Butter cake of Anncoo Journal. She placed strawberries and blueberries on the batter, and the mini cakes were so beautiful and i was tempting to bake one myself because I want to have a quick bite on it. Here I adjusted her recipe and baked this simple one that's my daughter's favourite. One day I will try the fruity butter cakes. You should too!

     200g Butter

     70g Bread flour
     pinch of salt

  • Add vanilla extract, mix till combined.
  • Add  milk, mix till combined.
